# --description--

Your pyramid has disappeared again. That's okay - that is to be expected.

Before you create your new loop, you need to learn about `if` statements. An <dfn>`if` statement</dfn> allows you to run a block of code only when a condition is met. They use the following syntax:

```js
if (condition) {
  logic
}
```

Create an `if` statement with the boolean `true` as the condition. In the body, print the string `"Condition is true"`.

# --hints--

You should create an `if` statement.

```js
assert.match(code, /if/);
```

Your `if` statement should have `true` as the condition.

```js
assert.match(code, /if\s*\(\s*true\s*\)/);
```

Your `if` body should log `"Condition is true"`.

```js
assert.match(code, /if\s*\(\s*true\s*\)\s*\{\s*console\.log\(\s*("|')Condition is true\1\s*\);?/);
```

```js
const character = "#";
const count = 8;
const rows = [];

function padRow(rowNumber, rowCount) {
  return " ".repeat(rowCount - rowNumber) + character.repeat(2 * rowNumber - 1) + " ".repeat(rowCount - rowNumber);
}

// TODO: use a different type of loop
/*for (let i = 1; i <= count; i++) {
  rows.push(padRow(i, count));
}*/

let result = ""

for (const row of rows) {
  result = result + "\n" + row;
}

console.log(result);
